The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused or significantly aggravated petitioner's conditions. Despite the denial, the parties reached a stipulation for an award of compensation. Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey reviewed the stipulation. The parties agreed that petitioner would receive a lump sum of $15,000.00, payable to Ms. Santoroski, as compensation for all damages. The Special Master found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court. Judgment was to be entered in accordance with the stipulation, unless a motion for review was filed. Petitioner was represented by Robert J. Krakow of the Law Office of Robert J. Krakow, P.C., and respondent was represented by Claudia B. Gangi of the U.S. Department of Justice.
